## Shepherd Shield Description
When seconds count, count on Shepherd Shield.

Shepherd Shield is a mobile app for use on iPhone. When a subscriber is in an area, familiar or not, the Shepherd Shield alert system provides a real-time threat assessment based on a color-coded alert index: green, yellow, orange and red, the highest.

Shepherd Shield alerts are issued when a subscriber comes in close proximity of a threat area, as determined by information obtained from law enforcement, emergency services, news reports and predetermined threat areas.

The app’s debut in 2017 is in Washington State. Eventually, expansion is planned to the other 49 states, throughout North America and in other countries.

Shepherd Shield users have a customized choice of categories, including high crime areas, active shooter alerts, terrorist threats, weather emergencies, and the addresses of registered sex offenders. Data can be viewed individually, as lists, and by using a map feature. Enable/disable the functions as you choose. There is also a “report” function so a subscriber may contribute information.

In the worst-case emergency, such as an active shooter alert, the app would issue an alert warning.

A user can pre-set their “Top 5 Safety Spots” such as a school, office building, etc., and should an alert happen at one of those spots, the user’s Shepherd Shield app would automatically send notice.

The app includes a “Call 911” button and an “SOS” button which calls the 24/7 Shepherd Shield dispatch center (located in the USA). A user needs to have a cellular connection to make such a call.

The app has been developed for Security Services Northwest, Inc., a multi-dimensional security company headquartered on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula.

“It’s about personal security,” says Joe D’Amico, SSNW President and owner since 1986, who started his career with a German Shepherd security patrol dog. As the father of five children, D’Amico started Shepherd Shield with the idea of protecting campus safety.
“Shepherd Shield is your own German shepherd, your personal protector, in your pocket.”

## Shepherd Shield Reviews in United States

### *---- "App doesn’t work anymore"
I’m convinced that this app is no longer supported even though I paid for premium.  There was a shooting around the corner and I received NO alerts on this app.  Won’t be renewing ever again, the neighborhood phone tree is more reliable than this app. What a disappointment.
-- mzelaineous, 2020-07-12

### *---- "Cheesy Capitalization off of People’s Fears"
Leave it to unfettered capitalism to come up with new ways profit off of people’s fears. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
-- SMDH-FFS, 2018-09-23

### **--- "Why isn’t there a free version?"
Worked great until it started asking me to upgrade.
-- Jawnee19, 2018-08-24

### *---- "Horrible"
There are no instructions, it won’t accept locations to save. All you get are error messages. This app is useless.

**I’ve had this app for a month. It cost 99cents to give it a try. WASTE of a buck. It says it’s supposed to work in my town and I get “suspicious car” alerts for Iowa. WTH??
Don’t waste your money.
-- CatePatton, 2018-08-02

### **--- "Well it was helpful"
However, the price to be able too see anything after the free subscription is silly. I get alerts, but can't see them. I understand not all functions would be available with a free version, but none at all? Sorry, had to delete. Bummer, because I liked this app.
-- KAC1974, 2018-07-19

### ****- "Great concept, still some problems."
This app has worked great for several months. I get regular alerts (but currently only supports Washington state, I believe). 

More recently I have been getting an upgrade request that never seems to go away when I launch the app, but I still get the alerts which is the most important to me. I don’t see using the app in an emergency situation, since I can call 911 much quicker on my phone. 

However if using this fledgling app supports further development I think it is worth while.
-- GroveMain, 2018-06-20

### **--- "Worked for two days"
The app worked fine for two days. Now Every time I get an alert and try to open the alert I get a message that says my subscription has run out and I need to update. When I click on update it takes me to the install page. If I click on anything it just acts like it’s refreshing and nothing happens. Alerts are pretty much useless if you can’t get details.
-- Rockinhorse01, 2018-06-15

### ***** "So thankful"
I am so thankful for this app. On 6/14/18 I got an alert of a bomb threat in Bremerton, WA, although this was such a scary alert to receive I was happy to at least be alerted. I am thankful to receive alerts doesn’t matter how small, it’s a way to be alerted... now in days you just don’t know. I recommend the app!
-- AxoOGC, 2018-06-14

### *---- "Didn't have any data for my small city"
Maybe this works in big cities but in my city it showed no crime info at all, and the only resources listed were a handful of businesses in northern WA. Zooming in on the heat map just makes the blobs smaller, and nothing crime related ever shows up on the map. Given the lack of historic crime data, I wouldn't rely on this for alerts.

P. S. I know the app description says as of 2017 it only worked in WA state. I'm not in WA but it's 2018 now and the app itself didn't say whether or not it would work in my area. If it doesn't, it should show a message stating that explicitly.
-- Sashazur, 2018-04-03

### ***** "User friendly"
This app is amazing!  I get alerts before the news channels. Very user friendly as well!  Highly recommend Shepherd Shield!
